I'm so happy I found this video. I was worried about not watering it. The instructions said not to after the first time. Yes I did want to dig and look in the dirt too. Lol! So this video was perfect..I subscribed!!

Thank you for all of the detailed information. I bought two HUGE mammoth bulbs from Costco and a few five packs of smaller ones from Walmart. I’m in zone 7B and plan on putting them indoors until it’s a bit warmer outside.

@TheThriftedPlanter 2 года назад

I heard Costco had some big ones this year! Your going to love growing them!

@joseolivares9050 3 года назад

I put one small plant in my koi pond and with one season the plant became the biggest elephant ears I have ever had. Koi also love to eat taro root.after a hard freeze in Houston which killed my plant I left the roots in the pond. By May those elephant ears are about five inches in diameter and very green.

@TheThriftedPlanter 3 года назад

I bet that was so gorgeous in the Koi pond. Perfect conditions for HUGE growth!

I planted one in a pot one month ago. After seeing this video, I may have planted it upside down.

@TheThriftedPlanter 3 года назад

Oh no! The foliage might make it's way to the surface anyway. You could wait a bit and see what happens. Or you can dig it up and check

I planted two large (corms) bulbs in planters on my porch last year for the first time. When I dug them up they had had babies. Now I have seven which I planted on May 18. Curious to see how they do this year. They were huge last year!

@vellalaws-bell6188 3 года назад

I planted Mammoth and a Diamond Elephant Ear in a Pot near the end of April. They are actually thriving. I am so proud of them. My only concern is the winter time. I live in TN in zone 7 and I dont want to bring the pots in this winter. What can I do to ensure they will come back? They are just growing so nicely! Help!!

@TheThriftedPlanter 3 года назад

I would def keep them dry and covered if possible. You can wrap them with burlap and fallen leaves. The most important thing is for them to not stay wet all winter.

@ramonahernandez7791 3 года назад

@hemalsgolwala 2 года назад

hello, great video.. I would like to know how would you control humidity in the house for them to grow?? Also, do you have any progress video like every two week? How long did it take to see the growth from the bulb??

@TheThriftedPlanter 2 года назад

I don’t do anything to add humidity to them. I do keep a fan running. This year I am seeing growth at one month. Now that mine are growing above the soil I’ll do more updates

@robinwolfe2217 3 года назад

My bulb had a very long green stem when I purchased. Do I keep the long green stem below the soil or above the soil? It has been above 80 degrees. Can it grow out on our little balcony in a big pot with drainage? thank you so much

@TheThriftedPlanter 3 года назад

Yes, leave the green growth above the soil and it will be so happy on your balcony!

@Capri0295 2 года назад

Hello, I just saw your video on elephant ear , I’m new to this , so my question is should I keep them in the house til they start growing threw the dirt ? I just bought to bulbs and I got them in big pots , but I left them out side

If it's warm enough outside I'd leave them outside

@kimhue7294 3 года назад

Hi do you. Have to bring them inside during winter time? Thank

@TheThriftedPlanter 3 года назад

You absolutely can bring them in for winter. They may still try to go dormant and die back to the soil. I cut mine back, dug them up and stored the bulbs for winter.

@Dee-gk6zg 3 года назад

NE Ohio here! Thanks for this! I’m getting ready to start mine inside. Do you find that they are deer resistant?

@TheThriftedPlanter 3 года назад

I haven't found any issues with deer eating them. They are magnets for spidermites so keep an eye out for that over the summer
